um, well.... you bastards dont even know the worst part of it.....the main dumbass in that vid is my ex brother in law. $#@! my life. this is not a drill.

Sorry man, but you're going to have to be more specific. So many dumbasses in that video are worthy of the "main dumbass" crown. Was it the old guy in the hat (Panama Cletus)? Seersucker $#@!-for-brains? The intro guy who had more teeth than a handsaw?

claims the filmographer said it was a class project for a grade...didnt think it'd end up on the world-webz. he's an otherwise semi-rational dude...but get him around that aggy $#@!, & the dumbass is strong strong. & most of those dudes at their butt-gate are related.

Smoking Man, you've referred to me on here as one of the more tolerable Ags, so hopefully you'll indulge me. This picture is actually pretty funny and irreverent if you understand it in context. The cadet in question is making fun of the Ross Volunteers, the honor guard for the governor of Texas. Only the most "elite" of the Corps are selected to be in the Ross Volunteers. For the most part the big deal of being an RV is getting to march in Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans, and governor inaugurations. When I was a RV after Bush was elected for the second time, we marched in the inaugural parade in DC on the taxpayer of Texas's expense.

(Side note: I campaigned for John Kerry in Florida the two weeks before the election. Ironical that a few weeks later I was marching in Bush's parade.)

The RV's wear all white uniforms, and the elite of the elite in the RV are honored with a red sash. Freshman and Sophomores in the Corps are not allowed to talk about the RVs and if an RV is wearing the white uniform, they have to pretend like they are ghosts. Kind of dumb, but c'est la Corps.

Anywhom, a guy wearing long underwear and a fake sash pretending to be an RV is pretty funny to me, and probably to other Corps Agroids who didn't take the RVs that seriously. Out of context, on a rival fans website that doesn't really get the picture, I can see how it would like pretty lame.

That is funny, when I saw the picture I completely ignored the idiot in white and recoiled AT THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG!!!!!!!

the dude needs to quit modeling in his skivvies & dress shoes, & clean up his dorm room. but I hear ya Hoya. sounds like he's outta line, & not just for looking like a racist jackass.

Funny I didn't notice the confederate flag in that picture until right now. Either that makes it even better satire, or a mix of irreverent towards the Ross Volunteers, but still hopelessly misguided with Southern bull$#@!. Either way, believable.

So you're where ya goin here son? You're making fun of your own and asking forgiveness

I just appreciate the irreverence shown in the picture. It's very possible to both love and be proud of my alma mater and still roll my eyes at some of the stupid stuff. I was a Ross Volunteer. I really enjoyed a lot of the time I spent training. I learned a $#@! ton about myself going through that. That doesn't mean that there was no bull$#@! or dumb stuff involved that I can shake my head at. In sports, politics, and religion I've never really understood the "all or nothing" mentality. I can be both part of something and admire it and be critical of it at the same time.

$#@! reminds me of stories I heard from guys who went to San Marcos Academy, rampant homo/scat juvenile stuff. I can see a bunch of teens being so stupid but by the time people get to college I expect more.

I love how in all of that you missed the symbolic context of the Confederate Battle Flag in the background of a guy dressed up as a fighting baker in all white. It does look like that picture might be from the 80s since there is an electric typewriter on the desk, though at A&M that could be modern technology today.

You're pretty good peeps Hoya, even for an agroid but you're not a complete anomaly... just a minority. I found it somewhat laughable and sad that even you, in your more level headed approach to all things aggy, failed to notice the 800 lb gorilla in that photo right away. It wasn't the aggy funnin' some of his other corp turds that this photo was used. Oh sure he looks dumb and all but the fact that you MISSED even seeing the Confederate flag hanging in all its open glory tells me that aggy accepts such behavior as though it is common practice. That is the sad part.

And to think that Ole Miss, albeit jokingly, would not see aggy as racists equals par with their known shenanigans, the racist label is still easily applicable to aggy.

Wait...wait... Nobody has brought up the fact that HoyAg used the phrase "most elite of the Corps" in an actual sentence? Are you $#@!ing kidding me?

When I was young I remember this kid Jeff, who was pretty damn amazing at playing G.I Joe. He was pretty dedicated to rolling around in the dirt with his action figures even when the rest of us lost interest and went off to throw the football around or go swimming or something. Yet, there was Jeff. Mouthing explosion noises 'till the sun went down. I'd be willing to bet that good 'ol Jeff did something with his life and became an elite member of the Texas Agriculture and Mechanical Corps of Cadets. Playing soldier was in his blood.

I knew Jeff too. He was my next door neighbor and set up huge battles in his game room with thousands of 1/100 scale army men. He must have had 10,000 of them from different eras. His WWII and Romans vs Visigoth battles were the stuff of legend for us elementary school kids. Only thing, he was a senior in high school. Oh, and he always played his aggy marching band album during the battles.

I will mock the corps 'till the sheep come home (at which point I will need to excuse myself for about 20 mins), since today's group bears very little resemblance to the organization that made up the university for so many years.

However, the Ross Volunteers are generally a pretty damn impressive group (not sure if you fit that criteria hoya) that go on to do some pretty damn impressive things post-college.

It's taken me almost a year of posting that pic, to finally spark the proper discussion about it. Was never really about the rotc dude standing there in his drawers. Kudos.

Here is my experience with Aggies. My older brother went to A&M, but I saw the light and went to UT. I'm really glad I did. I went to one football game at Kyle Field when he was there which was around 1978. I have to say back then it was a good atmosphere for a college football game. Yes, it was a pain in the ass to stand the whole time (actually, I think some of the parents/alums sat down for most of the game), but the place was loud and when they did the swaying thing the whole stadium seemed to move. Pretty cool if you're an Aggie. It wasn't my cup of tea so I went to UT and loved every minute of it.

Back then, my brother and his friends couldn't stand the Corps for many of the reasons stated in this thread. They referred to them as CTs (Corps Turds). They thought the Corps, while it had some qualities, gave the school a bad image in a modern world. My brother and his friends were very smart guys. They've gone on to very successful careers. Not all Aggies are stupid. I work with several Aggies who are great guys. However, the country-bumpkin steorotype has some truth to it--hell, just look at a couple of the photos in this thread!

But by and large, and like it or not, the student bodies of the two schools is becoming more and more similar. I have a daughter at UT (a sophomore), but she has friends at A&M and I have several friends whose kids go to A&M, and they are great kids who could easily have gone to UT. I can promise you they don't wear overalls.

As for the lack of diversity at A&M, the stats clearly show a larger percentage of whites at A&M vs. UT, but it's not like it's all white. Here are some recent numbers:

The big difference between the schools is clearly the larger number of Asians and Hispanics at UT. Interestingly, there are more international students on a percentage basis at A&M than UT. These numbers, to me, don't show a disturbing lack of "diversity" at A&M. The percentage of whites at A&M is pretty much the same percentage of whites in the general population. Yes, some of the videos in this thread show all white people, but you'd very likely see all white people at many UT functions. Hell, I was at a TexasEx party yesterday and out of about 200 people I saw 3 or 4 African Americans and maybe a couple of Hispanics. Note that the very disturbing video that begins with the busboy dropping the tray had several non-white students (man that was hard to watch--wish I'd never seen it).

Do they really jizz in a jar? Never heard that until I read this thread. I'll have to ask my brother about that one.

For the record, I hope the SEC withdraws their bid and the Aggies get completely screwed.

On a serious note, I read somewhere that the first touchdown in A&M history was a Hispanic guy. I bet those whiteys had some mixed feelings about that.

Maybe not. Historically, Hispanics were not segregated (hence he was at A&M). They attended the same schools as whites and weren't forced to sit in the balcony at the theater, etc. But, you are right, I'm sure there were some racists who probably had mixed feelings.
